Blizzardo Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 I just hope this one doesn't fizzle out at the 2 minute warning and we all get 24 hours plus of moderate snow with some death bands mixed in! Just a real good storm. Today should be a good day and may the snow gods dump the goods starting tomorrow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see hybrids as a good middle ground for now and work towards full electric within 20 years. The mileage is about 20% less in cold weather per charge. But improvements in range and charging time will make it less of an issue in the future. I think the power grid upgrades and charging station expansion may take a while. But once car makers say they will only produce EVs, then the infrastructure work will have to catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juliancolton Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I'm always left in awe reading recollections from the old-timers of storms half a century or more in the past. I desperately wish my mind worked that way... after a couple seasons, almost all events just blend together in my head. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The technology isn't as developed as NiMH and NiMH batteries last a lot longer- like more than 20 years while lithium batteries (for cameras anyway) fail within 10 years regardless of how often you charge them. I also hate proprietary batteries where you're forced to buy from the manufacturer. so now I've resorted to printing my own dummy batteries using a 3D printer and adapting them to work on AC power which is of course far more reliable than lithium batteries (since they are dummy batteries they dont contain any lithium of course, they just fool the camera into thinking they are lithium batteries and are connected to a power supply which I plug into an outlet. I also made one of these that works on usb power from a laptop or phone and one that works on DC power from a car cig lighter.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loathe the baby boomers and everything they stand for. I just told one in the financial industry the other day "the world would be a much better place if your parents' generation knew how to use condoms!" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North and West Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 1. Who are these people who come out of the woodwork when a storm is approaching 2. We brought home a puppy yesterday, so we’re anticipating at least a foot in MMU, maybe double that just because of the puppy.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
